Three days of $500 are the door, not the target
The evaluation minimum is 3 trading days. The on-demand payout minimum is stricter: three days that each make at least 0.5% of the initial balance. On $100K that is $500 a day, $1,500 across the three days. Phase 1 on the flagship 2-Step is still 8%, $8,000, and Phase 2 is 5%, $5,000. The three $500 days are eligibility, not the pass. You can log them and still owe most of the target.
The standard split is 80%. The add-on takes it up to 95%. Bi-weekly payouts follow the first on-demand request. Create a Venasri account and track closed daily profit against $500 so a day that made $420 is not counted as one of the three. Pay-Later does not shrink the 0.5% test.
Thirty-five to forty percent of the cycle
On Instant and Triple Payday, one day cannot own the cycle. At a 40% cap, a best day of $3,200 requires at least $8,000 of total profit before the ratio clears. At 35%, that same $3,200 day needs about $9,143 of cycle profit. If your best day is $2,000, a 40% reading clears once total profit reaches $5,000. Do the division before you request the payout, not after the desk replies.
The flagship 2-Step evaluation is not the same sentence as Instant. Do not assume a lumpy Phase 1, legal under the $4,000 daily line, will pass a 40% on-demand review. Equity Guard will not compute the ratio for you unless you watch the closed profit. Keep the daily flatten at $3,250 on Equity Guard so a chase for the shortfall does not print the $4,000 while you are trying to dilute a fat day.
One trade can be the whole bad day
The named trap is a single outsized trade that generates more than 40% of total cycle profit on Instant or On-Demand tiers. One gold ticket that makes $3,500 of an $8,000 cycle is 43.75% by itself, even if the other days were tidy $500 prints. Splitting that winner into two sessions is how the ratio survives. Adding size the next day to "balance it" usually creates a second fat day or a $4,000 loss.
The 1-Step trailing 6% floor, $6,000 on $100K, can also step up after that fat close because it marks end of day. You then have a payout delay and a higher trail. The 2-Step static 8% floor does not step up, which is another reason the product name on the payout form matters. A 10% static path, $10,000 of room, is a third contract.
Build the $500 day on purpose
Risk $350 to $650 so a normal winner can print the $500 day without requiring a 3R outlier. Seven losses at $350 are $2,450, still under $4,000. Six losses at $650 are $3,900, and the seventh crosses the daily line. Bot Control can stop new entries once the day is already up $1,500 if you are on a 40% tier and the cycle profit is still small. That pause is the consistency rule expressed as a button.
The $398 fee buys the attempt. The 95% add-on buys a better split after you qualify. Neither one waives a 42% day. Bank a $500 day, stop, and come back tomorrow. Three of those, plus the rest of the $8,000 built in similar pieces, is the payout path. One $4,000 news ticket is a story you then have to dilute with another $6,000 of profit before anyone sends the 80%.
